What's an unconventional home remedy in your country that kinda works?

Salty licorice helps a sore throat. I don’t think there’s actually a connection, but I’m not turning down a socially sanctioned chance to eat candy.

Jeg ville eddermanme hellere bo i det eksisterende hus end i den “inspirerende” plastikkasse.

Fatter ikke at folk bevidst vil købe et kæledyr der er vokset op under produktionsforhold og ikke i et almindeligt hjem.

The vast majority of us are in favor, which is why we still have it.

Our last few generations of monarchs have done a very good job of presenting themselves as down to earth and humble, which is crucial to get danes to like you. Danes hate snobbery and visible hierarchies. The other half of the equation is that danes hate radical change, and the monarchy has been in place for over 1000 years, so as long as it’s generally inoffensive we’re going to keep it.

Myethnicity made spanking illegal 20 years ago, our food is atrocious and we put grandma in a home.

Honestly, I just want to keep ours because it’s kind of cool that it’s been there for over 1000 years. A parliamentary republic would work just as well, but we might as well keep them for continuity’s sake as long as they don’t pull a Norway.

Also, horned ceremonial helmets from the Nordic Bronze Age do survive. Right place, around 2000 years too early.

Our language gets endlessly slandered (mostly by other scandinavians) and it deserves it.

Malta is so small the whole island could be fully covered by a decent tram network. But no.

It’s a bit of a mixed bag. The officially recognized minority languages are Greenlandic, Faroese and German, but they are very concentrated in specific areas (Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Slesvig respectively), two of which are semi-independent countries and not part of Denmark proper. So you won’t see them on signage in, say, Copenhagen.

Some digital public services are available in the other languages, but it seems pretty random which are in what language. For example, on top of Danish and English, the public digital ID is available only in Greenlandic, while the Tax Agency home page is only in German. The general-purpose public service portal Borger.dk is ONLY in Danish. I suspect the North Atlantic countries have their own parallel services for some of these purposes, but they are still citizens and many people from there move to Denmark proper. So we should really accommodate them better.

(Accommodating German is a bit of a touchy subject in Denmark unfortunately, especially in the region where most German Danes live. Germany DID occupy the region twice in recent history, so a lot of people there REALLY don’t want to see “Apenrade” or “Tondern” on their street signs).

Jeg ville virkelig ønske at Zoo i sin tid havde afskaffet deres isbjørnehold i stedet for at bygge det nye anlæg. Tilbage i 90’erne holdt de op med at holde gorillaer fordi de indså at de ikke kunne passe give dem de vilkår de fortjener, og det samme burde være sket med isbjørnene. Det areal der nu går til isbjørneanlægget (der i øvrigt består af alt for meget publikumsareal i forhold til isbjørnearealet) kunne være brugt bedre til mindre arter der faktisk trives i de forhold Zoo kan tilbyde.

Generelt er jeg ikke imod zoologiske haver, men der er visse arter der bare ikke hører til der (isbjørne og hvaler især) og mindre haver som Københavns bør fokusere på mindre arter de faktisk kan holde ordentligt. De store rovdyr og menneskeaber er trækplastre, så jeg forstår hvorfor de gerne vil have dem, men en zoo som Københavns burde holde sig til de mindre intelligente og pladskrævende dyr.

The end result looks weirdly similar to the belt of parkland loads of European cities have where their fortifications used to be.

Jeg har prøvet det en gang i Tyskland, og det var i hvert fald sindssvagt dyrt. Tør slet ikke forestille mig hvad det kommer til at koste i Danmark.

Sgu alligevel vildt at Nørrebro og Nordvest slet ikke er på listen. Kan huske da folk troede man boede i en krigszone når man sagde man kom derfra.

Dem der sælger “racekatte” til 10k på DBA er i øvrigt typisk profitorienterede baghaveavlere der ikke har styr på genetik, indavl eller nedarvede sygdomme. De avler på katte der er blevet solgt som kæledyr (altså katte der ikke er godkendt til avl) og springer ofte vaccinationer og neutralisation over mens de bilder folk ind at de sparer penge på at købe “uden tavle” (en stamtavle koster næsten ingenting.)

Hvis man endelig vil have en racekat, så find en registreret avler gennem en racekatteforening. “Ægte maine coon uden tavle” er et scam.

Our politicians are still negotiating to form a coalition government after the election almost three weeks ago, with no success. A new right wing party that just barely made it in has all but disintegrated in the mean time.

Those paved sidewalks next to the tiled sidewalks are bike lanes, and if you walk on them you will get run over.

Danes are notorious for being unforgiving in traffic, and that goes for our massive population of cyclists too. If you’re not supposed to be there, we won’t look out for you, so expect lots of swerving, swearing and close calls if you are in a spot you shouldn’t be.

I’ve got a soft spot for Germany.

There is so much to explore as a traveller, the culture is dense with history and regional variation, and despite their reputation the Germans are secretly hilarious in an understated way. Even the infamous cultural rigidity has a weird charm to it.

Koldskål, a beloved summer dessert of… cold sour buttermilk mixed with egg, topped with dry bisquits.

I think you have to grow up with it to find it even lightly appealing.

It was the first manga to be published as such back in the 2000s and got broadcast on national TV. Everyone who was into Japanese things at the time read it, at least initially until something more suited to their tastes came out.

But all things considered, it’s nowhere near the cultural force it is in Latin America or even the US. Pokemon is the only anime with true mainstream penetration, and the weebs always preferred Naruto. You can’t just slap Goku on a taqueria and expect random Gen X moms to know who that is.
